CATALYST AND METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY OXIDIZING HYDROGEN AND DEHYDROGENATION OF HYDROCARBON

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To selectively oxidize hydrogen present in mixed gas formed when dehydrogenated hydrocarbon is produced by dehydrogenating hydrocarbon. SOLUTION: A catalyst for selectively oxidizing hydrogen in mixed gas containing hydrogen and hydrocarbon by bringing the mixed gas into contact with oxygen-containing gas is obtained by supporting platinum and/or palladium on a carrier selected from a group consisting of tin oxide, titanium oxide, tantalum oxide and niobium oxide.
